When Greetings had its debut off-off Broadway in 1991 Stuart Duncan of Time Off wrote
“Greetings is a play that only the critics will hate.” Sure enough the New York Times critic found much to criticize but other critics i.e. Clive Barnes, called it a comic
jewel. Tom Dudzick, often referred to as the Catholic Neal Simon, is one of the few playwrights to make a living at it. Over The Tavern trilogy, Miracle on South Division Street,
Don’t Talk to the Actors and Hail Mary are some of his other works all of which have had stunning successes. In Greetings he wraps the sensitive subjects
of death, prejudice and objective versus subjective themes - without a mention of sex or drugs (imagine … a modern playwright who can work without using those crutches) into a warm, hilarious,
touching and endearing comedy. Greetings is fast becoming a happy alternative to A Christmas Carol. So, suspend your skepticism, relax and enjoy this lovely family
comedy. Miracles CAN happen ... really!
